Acerca de esta escucha

Winner of the Edgar Award for Young Adult Fiction!

The other orphans say Margot is lucky.

Lucky to survive the horrible accident that killed her family.

Lucky to have her own room because she wakes up screaming every night.

And finally, lucky to be chosen by a prestigious family to live at their remote country estate.

But it wasn't luck that made the Suttons rescue Margot from her bleak existence at the group home. Margot was handpicked to be a companion to their silent, mysterious daughter, Agatha. At first, helping with Agatha - and getting to know her handsome younger brother - seems much better than the group home. But soon, the isolated house begins playing tricks on Margot’s mind, making her question everything she believes about the Suttons...and herself.

Margot’s bad dreams may have stopped when she came to live with Agatha - but the real nightmare has just begun.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Margot’s narration feels intimate, especially when she reflects on her potent grief, and Agatha is never used as a prop: She and Margot develop a silent communication that transcends speech. The palpable and steadily building sense of dread throughout is enhanced by a whisper of the supernatural. A pitch-perfect contemporary gothic.” (Kirkus Reviews)

"The suspense and chills are there, and the plot advances the story to a dramatic conclusion that, even if readers can see it coming, is still startling. This book hits all the notes of a solid thriller - creepy mansion, dark family secrets, a little romance, and a plucky heroine. Fans of suspense will enjoy this outing. Alender creates another tingly tale just right for escaping into this summer.” (School Library Journal)

If ever a book NEEDED to be made into a movie, it’s THE COMPANION. A recently orphaned Margot arrives at Copeland Hall, a country family estate/mansion with a dark history and locked wings. Her job is to be a companion to Laura Copeland’s daughter Agatha, a newly catatonic teen. Laura seems nice, key word being seems. Agatha seems to be more aware of her surroundings than her mother admits. But nothing is as it seems, maybe not even Margot.

Creepily atmospheric, THE COMPANION prickled the my neck hair and gave me goosebumps. Margot wasn’t a dumb victim. While I wanted to tell her not to trust Laura, she didn’t do the stupid things teens in horror movies make viewers scream. Smart and resourceful, her Achilles’ Heel, wanting to trust and be loved didn’t make her lose all logic. I loved that she had enough in her hurting heart to care deeply for Agatha.

Katie Alender dots all her Is and crosses all her Ts, so I always understood why characters were acting in certain ways, if not immediately then eventually, though not in a way that feels too neat.

THE COMPANION is a masterclass in how to write the perfect thriller/horror story.

Loved it!

This psychological thriller was better than I expected. Definitely a YA novel, I appreciated the author not going for a coming of age stance and concentrating on the mystery. I would recommend this for 6th - 7th grade and up.

Better than expected

The overall story was great. It would have 5 stars if not for the, painful to get through, romance parts. Another review said it should have been classified as a youth novel, and that's probably accurate.

Great Story...but
